Chaper 11 Tortora- The Muscular System Flashcards
(55 cards)
Muscles are attached to bones by tendons at their ___________ & ___________ sites
Origin
Insertion
Muscular system
Composed of the voluntarily controlled muscles of the body
___________ that produce movement do so by exerting for some tendons, which in turn pool and bones and other structures [such as skin]
Skeletal muscles
___________ ___________ cross at least One joint and are usually attached to articulating bones that form the joint
Most muscles
Origin
The attachment of the muscle tendon to the stationary bone
Insertion
Attachment of the muscles other tending to the moveable bone
___________is usually proximal and the insertion distal; the insertion is usually pull towards the origin
Origin
Belly [body]
Fleshy portion of muscle between tendons
Actions
Main movements that occur when muscle contracts
Five patterns of fascicles
Parallel Fusiform [Spindle-shaped narrow toward the end wide in the middle] Circular Triangular Pennate [shaped like a feather]
When a muscle contracts [fiber] it shortens to about ___________ Of its resting length
70%
Prime mover
[Agonist a.k.a. leader] contracts to cause an action
Antagonist
Stretches and yields to the effects of the prime mover
Agonist
Leader
The antagonist in the prime mover Are usually located on ___________ Sides of the bone or joint
Opposite and can switch roles
Parallel fascicle
Parallel to longitudinal axis
terminate at either end in flat tendons
Sternohyoid muscle
Fusiform fascicle
Nearly parallel to longitudinal axis of muscle, terminate in flat tendons muscle tapers toward tendons
digastric muscle
Circular fascicle
Concentric circular arrangement form sphincter muscles that enclose an orifice
Obicularis oculi
Triangular fascicle
Spread over broad area converge at thick Central tendon; gives muscle a triangular appearance
Pectoralis major
Pennate fascicle
Short in relation to total muscle length; tendon extends nearly the entire length of muscle
Uinpennate
Arranged on one side of tendon
Extensor digitorum longus
Bipennate
Arranged on both sides of centrally positioned tendons
Rectus femoris
Multipennate
Attach obliquely from many directions to several tendons
Deltoid
Synergist
Contract and stabilize the intermediate joints
